Hello, I have just started to work on a migration project for a client that has the current onpremise environment on Win/SQL 2012 and want to replatform (migrate & upgrade) to Win/SQL 2019. They have cubes (SSAS), Reports (SSRS) and SSIS that need to be migrated and upgraded as well so I would like to know if Azure Migrate can handle migration with these requirements. I know it can handle disco, assessment and migration for the actual onpremise databases but not sure of the other SQL Server components mentioned. If Azure Migrate can, how is it done? If not, what are the other options?
